Travel guide
Everything you need to know before Egypt
Visas, weather, what to wear, what to tip, and how to avoid the scams — written by the people who live here.
Everything in this guide is written by our own staff — the guides who work the sites, the operations team who answer the 3am phone calls, and the drivers who know which road is closed.
It covers the practical ground: whether you need a visa and how to skip the queue for one, what each month actually feels like on the ground, what to wear at a mosque in August, what tipping is really expected, and how the common scams work so you can walk past them.
None of it is affiliate-driven and none of it is padded. If the honest answer to a question is "fly, do not take the train", that is what it says.
